Laura, she was taken at the midnight hour
Full moon shining, lighting up the sky
No streetlights for guidance or warnings
When the eagle lands
Blood on our hands
Blood on our hands
Follow her, oh Laura
Her path gleams with rainwater
And foxes saunter, listening at their dens
The bats cry in despair till darkness ends
Under moonlit sky
Her jet black hair
Her jet black hair
And I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
And I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
Lost her in time and some other place
I remember when, back in '98
Lost her in time and some other place
Where Laura lies, now it's too late
Noone knows, noone knows
I'll wait for you where the horses run
But I'll never know where you have gone
I'll wait for you where the horses run
But I'll never know where you have gone
Noone knows, noone knows
And I wanna go where wild horses run
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses run
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
Laura, oh Laura I love you.
Full moon shining, lighting up the sky
No streetlights for guidance or warnings
When the eagle lands
Blood on our hands
Blood on our hands
Her path gleams with rainwater
And foxes saunter, listening at their dens
The bats cry in despair till darkness ends
Under moonlit sky
Her jet black hair
Her jet black hair
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses go
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
I remember when, back in '98
Lost her in time and some other place
Where Laura lies, now it's too late
Noone knows, noone knows
But I'll never know where you have gone
I'll wait for you where the horses run
But I'll never know where you have gone
Noone knows, noone knows
Where I left her, and nobody knows
I wanna go where wild horses run
Where I left her, and nobody knows
Noone knows, noone knows
Laura, oh Laura I love you.

I think this song is about the death of Laura Branigan. She had black hair and the "she was taken at the midnight hour" refers to the fact that she died in her sleep. The no one knows could refer to either the fact that no one had previously diagnosed the brain condition that she died of, or it could be that no one knows where she goes when she dies. The rest of the song seems to be about death in general.
